I just picked it up and I have to say it's awesome and frustrating at the same time.
Like all their previous albums (with the exception of Apple O and Reveille), it's highly uneven (less uneven than Milkman though), and you wish it were longer. But still after the big letdown that Runners Fours was it's good to see they're back to doing what they do best. Finito the sugary uninteresting songs of the Runners Four. The first four songs are totally awesome and they remind me of the highlights of Reveille(this magnificent bird will rise, punchy buggy valves to name a few).
The disappointment comes from the seconf part of the album : the cutesy harmonies and instrumentarium becomes annoying and it sounds like they're rehashing some Runner Fours songs ( wither the invisible, kidz are so small).
The exception here is the innocent and charming 'choco fight'.
Fortunately though in 'look away' they proove that they can sustain musical interest in this lengthy song without sounding like they're trying too hard.
They're here as inventive as in "the Trumpeter swan".
Other than that, Deerhoof kicks ass !!
